Claude Elwood Shannon (April 30, 1916 – February 24, 2001) was an American mathematician, electrical engineer, computer scientist, cryptographer and inventor known as the "father of information theory" and as the "father of the Information Age". [1]

2025年1月22日 · Claude Shannon (born April 30, 1916, Petoskey, Michigan, U.S.—died February 24, 2001, Medford, Massachusetts) was an American mathematician and electrical engineer who laid the theoretical foundations for digital circuits and information theory, a mathematical communication model.

Dr. Claude Shannon’s creation of information theory made the digital world as we know it today possible. In addition to being a mathematician and computer scientist, Shannon is responsible for the concept of the “bit” (the basic unit of information), digital compression, and strategies for encoding and transmitting information seamlessly ...

2016年4月27日 · Shannon, who died in 2001, is regarded as one of the greatest electrical engineering heroes of all time. This profile, originally published in 1992, reveals the many facets of his life and work. Who is the real Claude Shannon?

2002年10月14日 · Classical information science, by contrast, sprang forth about 50 years ago, from the work of one remarkable man: Claude E. Shannon. In a landmark paper written at Bell Labs in 1948, Shannon...

Claude E. Shannon The American mathematician and computer scientist who conceived and laid the foundations for information theory. His theories laid the groundwork for the electronic communications networks that now lace the earth.

2019年3月18日 · As the creator of the “bit,” Claude Shannon became known as the “father of the digital age”—the man responsible for technology that evolved into today’s computers and other digital technology. Here, his biographers tell the story of his U …

2024年3月29日 · Claude Shannon was an American computer scientist, engineer and mathematician whose ideas helped launch information theory and digital comms.

2016年2月29日 · Claude Elwood Shannon’s realization that all information could be transmitted in a series of 1s and 0s laid the foundation for a revolution in the spread of information. He developed the mathematical theories and techniques that make possible the analysis of switching circuits, computers and communications.

In his 1948 paper, Shannon showed that, for any com-munication rate less than capacity, one can communicate with arbitrarily small error probabilities. In Shannon’s paradigm, reliability is achieved through channel coding: transmitters protect signals against errors by introducing redundancy into each message before transmission, and
